Thrubeam Type Laser Sensor
IG Series
Instruction manual
Read this instruction manual carefully prior to operating the IG Series CCD Thrubeam
Laser Sensor.
After reading, keep this manual in a safe place so that you can refer to it at any time.
Safety Information for IG series
„ General precautions
• At startup and during operation, be sure to monitor the functions and performance of this
product and confirm normal operation.
• We recommend that you take substantial safety measures to avoid any damage in the
event that a problem occurs.
• If the product is modified or used in any way other than described in the specifications, its
functions and performance cannot be guaranteed.
• Do not use this product for the purpose of protecting the human body.
• Do not subject this device to rapid temperature changes, otherwise product failure may
occur.
Safety Precautions on Laser Product
* The classification is based on IEC60825-1 standard following the Laser Notice No. 50 from
FDA (CDRH).
„ Laser emission stop input
When the laser emission stop input is activated, the laser emission stops by setting the
external input to ON (for 2 ms or more). The laser emission continues to stop while the
external input is ON. When the external input is set to OFF, the laser is emitted within 2 ms.
For details of the discrete outputs or analog output conditions during the laser emission
stop input, refer to the User’s Manual “11. External input”.
Abnormal conditions
Precautions on use
„ Installation environment
To ensure that it is being safely used, do not install this product in the following locations.
• High-humidity, dusty and poorly-ventilated locations.
• High-temperature locations where the unit is exposed to direct sunlight.
• Locations where there is corrosive gas or combustible gas.
• Locations where the unit may be directly subjected to vibration or impact.
• Locations where water, oil, or chemicals may splash onto the unit.
• Locations where the static electricity tend to be generated.
„ Influence of dirt
• Measurement errors may occur due to dust, water, oil, etc.
• Remove such dirt stuck to transmitter and receiver with either an air purge or wipe with a
soft cloth moistened with alcohol for heavy dirt. If the transmitter and receiver get
scratched, measurement errors may occur.
• Remove dirt attached to the target with either an air purge or it off.
• If dirt is floating within the measurement range, take adequate measures, such as
installing a dust protection cover or air purging.
„ Anti-noise prevention
When the unit is installed near a noisy source such as a power generator or high-voltage
line, operational errors or product failure may occur. Take adequate measures such as
using a noise filter, arranging cords appropriately, or insulating the amplifier and sensor
head.
„ Warm up
Wait approximately 10 minutes after power up before using the IG series so as to allow
forthe display value to stabilize upon warm up.
Other Precautions
„ Power source
• Operation errors may occur due to noise superimposed upon the power source. Make
certain to use the direct current stabilized power source which uses an insulation
transformer.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator, make sure to properly ground
the frame.
Precautions on UL Certificate
The IG series complies with the following UL and CSA standards. The IG series has
obtained UL and C-UL certificate.
• Applicable standardUL508 Industrial Control Equipment
CAN/CSA C22.2 No.14-M05 Industrial Control Equipment
• UL File No.E301717
• UL category: NRKH, NRKH7
„ Precautions
• The IG series must have its power supplied from a Class 2 power source according to
NFPA70 (NEC: National Electrical Code).
• The UL certificate for the IG series is for the sensor head and amplifier used in
combination. The IG series sensor head must be used together with the IG series sensor
amplifier unit exclusively.
• Power supply/Control input/Control output shall be connected to a single Class2 source
only.
• Use with over current protection device which is rated 30V or more and not more than 1A.
• For details of each function, refer to “CCD Thrubeam Laser Sensor IG Series User’s
Manual”.
• You can download “CCD Thrubeam Laser Sensor IG Series User’s Manual” from
KEYENCE homepage (http://www.keyence.co.jp/).
